Top Cosmetic Procedures to Improve Neck Contours

Noticeable facial contour issues don’t only arise in the areas between your forehead and jawline. Many people realize this fact once their neckline changes with age. Skin laxity, deeply etched wrinkles, and excess fat below your chin can add years to your appearance.

Unfortunately, your neck can be one of the most challenging places to resolve aging issues. Many of our patients come to us after exhausting non-surgical options and looking for a more effective solution. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Jorge de la Pedraja offers multiple options to help his patients achieve their cosmetic goals and resolve the appearance of loose neck skin, a turkey wattle, and neck bands.

While various aesthetic treatments are available, not every plastic surgeon can provide the personalized attention you deserve. Here’s a closer look at what’s available in South Florida at Gables Plastic Surgery Center.

Liposuction

If you struggle with unwanted fullness beneath your jawline, you know how hard it can be to hide. Dr. de la Pedraja may recommend liposuction to balance facial features. This popular cosmetic surgery removes excess fat below the jaw to create a more attractive neckline. Another notable benefit is that a talented surgeon can use this harvested fat to replace lost facial volume loss with a fat grafting technique.

As a stand-alone procedure, liposuction is ideal for younger men and women with stubborn fat pads and good skin elasticity.

Neck Lift

Does your neck have moderate to severe sagging? A neck lift can remove drooping skin, remove what remains, and tighten loose neck muscles to restore a smoother, better-defined neckline. In addition, you can combine a facelift and neck lift if your aging concerns extend into your midface.

Neck lift benefits include:

  • Diminished or resolved neck banding
  • Reduced neck wrinkles and creases
  • More defined jawline
  • Improved neck appearance
  • Long-lasting benefits

Older patients experiencing significant skin laxity may wish to combine a neck lift with liposuction to achieve an optimal outcome.

Dermal Fillers

Dermal fillers are also popular anti-aging procedures in Coral Gables to correct loose neck skin. Hyaluronic acid filler injections add volume to resolve wrinkles and plump the skin below your chin. In addition, brands like Restylane are excellent for addressing neck creases.

Botox and Dysport

The neuromodulators Botox and Dysport can decrease neckline wrinkles and bands by making your neck appear longer and sharpening the jawline. However, using botulinum toxin in your neck area may include some risks, including difficulty swallowing and breathing. Discuss all these potential issues with Dr. de la Pedraja.
